“For whosoever shall callupon the name of the Lordshall be saved.”—Romans 10:13happen to know personally as my Savior). By the way,Darwin's only degreewas in theology; yet, heis often called agreat scientistin textbooks today. Whoand what determineswho gets tobecalled a“scientist” and why don'tthesescoffersput the same effortintocorrectingtextbooks thatcall “Reverend”Darwin ascientist?As Henry Morris has pointed out, “It is worthnotingthatalmost none of the leaders ofthis evolutionaryrevivalhadbeen trained as scientists in themodern sense.

Atheists almost always omit the last part ofthe letter that shows Jefferson’s intent.Here is the context of that letter: “The First Amendment haserected awall of separation between church and state.
